Mr. Nigel O'Neill:

The process is one thing but experts are needed to actually manage portfolios. Regarding timelines for deliveries, some of the projects that Mr. Walsh mentioned had very lengthy planning periods. A project that we got approval gate 2 for recently is the N28 from Cork to Ringaskiddy. Cork County Council submitted that scheme to An Bord Pleanála on 15 May 2017. Members heard me correctly. That is 2017. It went through a judicial review with various appeal stages, including the Supreme Court and so on. It emerged from that on 1 March 2021. That is almost four years.
